Day One-Raw

Hi,
Yesterday completed day one of my personal challenge-thirty days totally raw. My husband and I cleaned out our fridge and freezer and dropped all of our soups and sauces off at a friend's house. It was perfect, actually, because she had just had a baby, and was very grateful to not have to cook for the next few days.
The transition was easy for me. The only time I really eat cooked foods anyway is at dinner time. It was more difficult then, but I just ate extra and moved past it. Here's what I ate yesterday:
Green Smoothie (kale, brazil nut milk, bananas, blueberries, goji berries, cacao, flax, dates, spirulina)
Raw Carrot Muffin
Mango
Fresh Pineapple
Guac and Raw Corn Chips
Two Huge Spinach Salad with raw tahini dressing
Apple Pie

Nick drove to downtown L.A. yesterday and went to an organic produce warehouse. He got cases of:
apples (80)
mango (9)
pineapple (6)
wheatgrass (1 flat)
Spinach (4 lbs)
Carrots (25 #)
Bananas (huge case)

The total for all of this was $140 and it will easily last us two weeks! If we had bought this food at whole foods, we would have easily paid double.

So, I cut up pineapple and banana and stuck them in the freezer for smoothies for the next two or three weeks. I also sliced about 10 bunches of bananas which are now in the dehydrator making banana chips. As long as I dehydrate them at under 114 degrees, all the enzymes stay intact and they are still easy to digest!

I also did alot of sprouting yesterday. I sprouted sunflower seeds and buckwheat groats, and dehydrated them, so if I have a recipe that calls for them, I can make it easily and quickly!

I also made raw apple pie. It was delicious!

I will let you know how today goes!

Enjoy your day!
